FROM Terry Lee and Fred ...
Sales in the "M" Streets ... sales along Eldorado Parkway from Plano to McKinney and then down to Sachse ... then we're down around UpTown ... and finally we travel to Garland and then down to Ennis! Where ever you live ... there's plenty of fun things going on!
Estate Sale Feature ...
Jean Williams Estate Sales ... in McKinney starting Saturday!
Furniture styles ... from traditional ... to Victorian.
And we loved every single piece on display. This
family certainly loved their antiques ... a Victorian
walnut parlor table, a mahogany curved glass cabinet
(probably from the early 1900's), and a marble top
dresser with mirror. There’s a red leather ottoman from
the 50's featuring a pair of cowboy boots ... and even a
mission style library table that’s been converted into a
coffee table. If you are a pig fancier ... don’t miss this
collection. The pigs come in all sizes and even include
a tureen! And for every Texan (and those that wish
they were) ... an original oil by L. Preston of our State
Flower ... the Bluebonnet. It’s a beautifully decorated
home you just have to see. READ MORE
Auction Feature ...
Ennis Auction House & Larry Schaefer Auctioneers ... The Living Estate of Ms. Billie McKenzie ... in Ennis on Saturday!
An Estate Auction that has everything you
could every want in a home or its furnishings!
This gorgeous old 2-story Victorian home is
chock full of antiques, fine and casual
dinnerware (from Spode to Lenox), sterling
silver, glass and crystal, Longaberger
baskets, and decoratives. Walk into the
kitchen for more "must haves" that include a
set of Le Creuset cookware and every kitchen
gadget required in the preparation of a
sumptuous summer picnic for two on the wrap-around porch (including homemade peach ice cream). It’s all being sold this Saturday beginning at 10 a.m.
Originally the house was scheduled to be auctioned at noon, but instead, the real estate agent will be introduced to all in attendance and tours will be conducted later in the day. But for the moment ... it’s all about the home’s contents. The auction will be held on the front lawn with Alan and Larry conducting the sale. Tables loaded down with treasures will line the porch. For the comfort of those attending, tents will be set in place around the yard and the driveway and refreshments will be available to help us "beat the heat." READ MORE
Estate Sale Feature ...
Ralph Willard ... in the "M" Streets starting Thursday.
Ralph Willard wasted no time getting back
from his Antique Show in Austin and setting
up a wonderful sale in the "M" Streets. The
house itself isn’t large ... but it is "large" in
content with wonderful antique furniture ...
sterling silver flatware ... Oriental
furnishings ... and a Black Forest table with
two musical chairs. Yes, musical chairs! The
homeowner was an accountant who furnished
his office with a great big executive desk by
Pacific (truly a wonderful piece) ... and stored
his books in a barrister bookcase. Fred picked
out his favorites as soon as we entered the house ... handmade metal airplanes. Not me ... I thought the Royal Satsuma was pretty special. But that’s not all we considered special ... there’s also a vintage Rolex watch. READ MORE
